Undergraduate Internship - Engineering/Manufacturing

Base is America's next-generation power company. We're rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today's fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.
As a Manufacturing Engineering Intern, you'll get hands-on experience designing and standing up the processes that make our products real. You'll work alongside experienced engineers and operators in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment, supporting everything from early prototype builds to production-scale deployment. You'll learn by doing - and what you do will directly impact how we deliver affordable energy at scale.
Collaborate with engineers to design and refine processes, fixtures, and equipment for assembling battery and inverter systems.
Participate in hands-on prototyping and pilot builds, helping debug issues and improve manufacturability.
Support factory line layout and workstation design to improve flow, ergonomics, and efficiency.
Help document assembly processes, write work instructions, and support technician training.
Analyze data from prototype and production runs to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for process improvement.
Current junior or senior in an undergraduate program, or a graduate student, in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field.
Strong understanding of mechanical or manufacturing engineering fundamentals.
Passion for hands-on problem solving and building processes that scale.
Familiarity with CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, or AutoCAD) is a plus.
Exposure to manufacturing processes, automation, or robotics is a plus.
The Manufacturing Engineering team owns the interface between a proof of concept and a scalable, profitable product. Our team focuses on how a product can be built, defining the process technology and equipment solutions along the way. The Manufacturing Engineering team owns every aspect of bringing the physical mechanisms of manufacturing a product into the factory.
Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.
